Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Thaler coin from the Electorate of Saxony (Albertinian Line) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Electorate of Saxony, which was not commonly seen on coins of this denomination. This shield was added to the coin to signify the coin's origin and authenticity, and it has become a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
